 Then these strips of papers are separately rolled up into coils of various sizes, as per the demand of the design. There are some special quilling needles available in the market, around which these strips are wrapped to form the coils and then the open end is fixed with glue, before sliding off from the needle.
 Then this coil is shaped up into various designs by pressing with the fingers; like tear drops, paisleys, squares, marquis, stars, diamonds and various other shapes.
 Next, these shaped up coils are attached with one another with glue, to form the specific designs of the earrings. But utmost care is taken to make both the earrings of a pair to be exactly identical to each other.
